Features & Benefits

Hydra Quartz is a complex blend of natural minerals and sequestrants. 100% biodegradable and free from additives which can cause toxic effects or oxygen deprivation It works the same safe way as barley straw but instantly. No waiting weeks to see results and no messy smelly straw to remove. Rapidly removes blanket Weed/String Algae - results can be seen in minutes. Harmless to All fish, birds, reptiles, invertebrates, humans, animals, mammals, and water plants. Hydra Quartz promotes clear healthy water by chelating and absorbing nitrites, phosphates and other pollutants. These nutrients are used as a food source for blanket weed. Does not alter the pH balance of the water. Safe on all surfaces including concrete and synthetic liners. Will not effect pumps or filters.

How Does Hydra Quart Work & How To Use

Simply broadcast Hydra Quartz over surface to be treated. On smaller pond areas it is often helpful to treat the pond in 2 halves to enable fish to swim away from dying blanket weed As Hydra Quartz locks onto the blanket weed/string algae it absorbs and chelates the nutrients which feed the blanket weed. You may find some foaming occurs. This is quite normal. Leave until starved blanket weed dies and remove from pond. Normally within 48 hours. If the dead blanket weed is not removed it will eventually decompose and sink to the bottom of the pond/lake. If treating a waterfall of blanket weed turn off the waterfall, sprinkle Quartz onto ledges and leave until blanket weed has died. Turn on waterfall to sluice the contamination away and treat pond.

Usage Rates 1 kilo treats up to 10,000 litres (of water. 5 kilos treats up to 50,000 litres of water 20 kilos treats 200,000

Re-Treat full strength on any re-growth as blanket weed spores cannot be treated until they grow.
